Would I know my Savior, wrapped in swaddling bands? Lying in a manger-bed Light of heaven round his head Would I hear the angels bend t'ward earth to sing? Would I know the Holy Child? Would I know my King? Would I know my Savior, safe in Mary's arms? Cradled in a lullaby Heaven's legions watching nigh Would I know his goodness? Would I feel his grace? Would I know the Holy Child if I beheld his face? Would I know my Savior, in a lowly stall? Where the lowing cattle feed Where the silver starlight leads Where the humble shepherds seek the Holy One Would I hear the Spirit whisper, "This is God's own Son." I think my heart would know him Christ The Holy One For I can hear the Spirit whisper, "This is God's own Son."
